Ancelotti offers Isco Madrid escape route

Not everyone at Madrid will be so delighted with the signing of Hazard. In particular, Spanish midfielder Isco, who plays in a similar position to the Belgian, may find his opportunities at 'Los Blancos' limited once again.

Isco, who impressed against the Faroe Islands on Friday night, looks set to be affected by Hazard's signing. Now, Carlo Ancelotti, who already knows the playmaker well from his time as Real Madrid manager, wants a reunion with the 27 year-old in Italy.

Ancelotti would be able to offer the former Málaga player a starring role at Napoli. The Italian manager is a big fan of Isco, and knows that he could play a key part in hunting down Juventus at the top of Serie A.

Previously, Isco has ruled out a move away from the Bernabéu. However, his situation has now become more complicated with Hazard's arrival, and he may have to settle for minutes off the bench if he wants to stay in the Spanish capital next season.

It is unlikely that Napoli will be the last club to come calling for Isco this summer. Now Hazard's capture has been made official, clubs all around Europe will look to tempt the attacking midfielder into a move away from his homeland.
